This is not a Joke!
Do you think this is a joke?
Telling people to hurt themselves
Pointing out their every flaw
Making fun of the way they look
Or the way they speak
You never know what is going on in someone’s life
Parents beating them at home
Classmates calling them names at school
Getting cyber bullied online
This is not a joke!
All they think about is how to prevent this situation
From going any further
Maybe a good friend, but who would be friends with someone like that
Maybe someone to talk to, but who would listen
Maybe fighting back, but then what am I?
A bully?
People watch this happen in the hallway
But do they do anything about it?
No!
They feel like it's none of their business
Or the victim can deal with it by themselves
But what they don’t realize is that
The victim is so weak from not eating
Or they are too scared of what the bully would do next
To do anything about it
People just walk by this like nothing ever happened
This is not a joke!
